Argentina made 4 subs late in the game and lost their style of play and seemed to be all over the place. I think Brazil lost was due to the players letting of the gas, in this game the manager let off the gas. Argentina were winning in possession easily but after those subs, their typical, boring, South American style of play went out the window.ThunderCougarFalconBird said:After what I saw today, I disagree. They got up 2-0 and all they had to do was play disciplined and professional defense. Instead they went all-in on the ****housery and ended up going to penalties in what could have been a comfortable win. The Croatians are a more seasoned team.Valtrex_11 said:Brazil let off the gas after scoring IMO dont think Tina makes that mistakewangus12 said:Valtrex_11 said:
Lets go Argentian they should roll the corats.
I wouldn't be so sure. That is a battle hardened Croatian team. They win by sheer will and they did a pretty good job of shutting the Brazilian midfield down.
It's gonna be close

Yes, likely with Ronaldo on the bench.
I was describing how much I dislike Otamendi to my son when he committed the stupid foul that led to Holland's second goal. It amazes me how dumb players can be in such critical moments. Such a stupid foul.

Really wish the Dutch has pulled it off
All until Ronaldo is a late sub and scores the game winner like always. Storybook ending as he walks away into retirementtysker said:messi scoring in a WC final with Ronaldo on the bench might be the best thing eversnowdog90 said:gambochaman said:

I think I would have always rather hit the post as a miss than the keeper save it easily.

I'm really finding it hard to like any South American teams.

They've got plenty of faults, but Brazil are at least fun to watch most of the time. For the past two WCs, they've had several games where I start out rooting against them, but their flair brings me around and I'm enjoying them at the end.Chuck Cunningham said:

Outside of watching Messi do Messi things, Argentina have always been really boring (and if we're honest, Messi only has rare moments in a game - the rest of the time he's walking around).
What happened to Depay in that game? Dutch needed him.
He was completely ineffective and got subbed off at 78'.
He also talked **** on the US soccer team funny all the support the Dutch seem to have on here.jeffk said:

Who was the Dutch coach in Messi's face post game? Hard to tell what the hell that discussion was
What awesome games today.
Ive never been a huge soccer fan, but Ive watched a number of the matches, and am actually looking forward to Saturday. The Croatia/Brazil match was the most excited Ive ever been watching soccer. Glad Brazil lost!
Yeah, well, sometimes nothing is a real cool hand
Edgar Davids
Gotcha thanks. Was drawing a blank on my old Dutch player names. Couldn't tell if that was an F you chat or congratulations embrace.
I read somewhere on reddit that Neymar himself elected to be the last PK. Is this true? I figured the coach would decide such things.
I usually have been able to watch majority of the games but couldn't watch it live today. Of course my son was bombarding me with texts saying it sucks to be me to have this one of the very few games I miss. Great outcome regardless. Glad everyone go to watch a treat

Okay either way...wonder what was going on
Messi went to LvG and was about to walk away when Davids went to him.
The Dutch coach was talking a lot of crap all week about Messi and Argentina in general. Messi was giving it back to him.
Really enjoying the replay of this game on FS1 right now. At the point where Fernandez drills that ball into the Dutch bench. Stu's reaction to the initial foul is "whoa" and then when he kicks the ball at the bench "WHOA"

I actually think it was just two comments - the first being Messi doesn't do much to help the team defensively. Second being that he'd asked his players to train taking PKs with their clubs and he felt that would give them an advantage if it went to PKs. Not sure how that gets blown into talking a lot of crap all week about Messi and Argentina, but that's the world we now live in.
Holy ***** There are people on twitter saying Grant Wahl collapsed and died at the the Netherlands Argentina match. Taylor Twellman mentioned it but deleted his tweet.

Let's go Croatia! Argentina was gifted today's win (BS penalty, ref repeatedly fell for player antics) and acted like the trash they are afterward.
From what I read on reddit, it was a lot more then that. One of them calling Messi a non-factor in 2014 when he was in his prime, implying it will be even easier this time around. And apparently he's said a lot of crap about other Argentinean and other South American players from his club days. The hate between him and Argentina runs pretty deep, it seems.An Ag in CO said:Quote:
